One of the difficulties of ensemble development is weighting the logic that is being develeped. For instance, one of the problems we deal with at my job is matching incoming text to it's cleaned value. We have a list of approved words ['happy', 'sad', 'angry', 'sleepy'], and a text input of 'hap'. We need to determine which valid word 'hap' should match. Some rules I can think of for properly matching are:
1.)Length of input compared to cleaned word.
2.)Number of nonpositional letter matches.
3.)Number of positional letter matches.
Depending on how rules are weighted determines what the answer will be (either sad or happy). I know at my job this weighting process requires very careful politicking.:D
Thanks for the link, but I like the flash site. The website has audio, so while you are instructed not to download music (hey, spoken word is a type of art/music), you are in fact downloading music.

So there are 2 guys that built this machine learning process, distributed using cascade and hadoop, and they built and distributed an app to show the results using rails and heroku?
These guys probably eat my code as a breakfast snack. Seriously, how do I become that badass?
Using numerics in search phrase construction just seems like it would screw up the results regardless. It would be similar to constructing search phrases using multiple foreign languages at the same time. Even when searching scientific journals, I use common nomenclature rather than specific values.
Well, you would be paying yourself to beat yourself. You would also be paying the bringit service fee, of course. I guess if that sounds like fun, go for it.

I don't think so, solely based on the fact that the lithium oxide crystals that are created would stay within the battery. However, here is a good read about the toxicity of lithium compounds. Sounds like if lithium compunds are released, we would have a lot of very mellow people who have to pee a lot.
The toxicity of lithium compounds is a function of their solubility in water. Lithium ion has central nervous system toxicity.
The initial effects of lithium exposure are tremors of the hands, nausea, micturition, slurred speech, sluggishness, sleepiness, vertigo,
thirst, and increased urine volume. Effects from continued exposure are apathy, anorexia, fatigue, lethargy, muscular weakness, and
changes in ECG. Long-term exposure leads to hypothyroidism, leukocytosis, edema, weight gain, polydipsia/polyuria (increased
water intake leading to increased urinary output), memory impairment, seizures, kidney damage, shock, hypotension, cardiac
arrhythmias, coma, death. (Sax, Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, eighth edition)
This is true, but we are talking about a primary cell, not secondary, hence lithium oxide.. I am assuming they are doing this to make development efforts more simple.
If i recall correctly the difference is that they don't use a polymerized electrolyte for primary cells.
Man, I am not going to be happy until I get a car that is powered by electric eels. Then when cars crash it has the added benefit of flinging pissed off electric eels everywhere.
I have a question for the makers of this techL
When lithium metal reacts with oxygen, it creates lithium oxide as a byproduct, which is inert to oxygen. If this battery is using solid metal that is covered by a membrane, wouldn't the lithium oxide block oxygen from getting to the lithium after a fairly short while? I would think this is a problem with using lithium metal in general.
Generally larger websites have an entire department dedicated to selling adspace and managing the ad content that is displayed. Since it is the primary source of revenue for websites, it is hard for me to believe that they don't know what they are advertising.
Could it be that this ruling is actually an anti-RIAA ruling in disguise? Rather than making an example of Thomas to promote the RIAA, the judge may be pointing out the absurdity of the legal damages allowed. Too bad for Thomas though, she is going to be struggling financially from now on.
There is no way that a meteor would only scar the boy's hand, and then leave a 'foot sized crater' in the road.
The only alternative I can see is that the meteor bounced off the road and then hit the boy's hand, but that is equally as implausible.
These articles make me believe that Greenplum has some good PR working, because in all the analytics I have done, people tend to scoff at Greenplum.
Hadoop clusters are more scaleable, more flexible, and strangely more supportable than Greenplum. When I worked with Greenplum, we would be able to bring down the server easily by executing simple 'select * from table' queries.
Netezza, which is strangely not mentioned, is much better for doing distincts, which is used quite often in analytics. Greenplum chokes on correlating the data sets.

I wonder if this is a decision made based off knowledge of the law, or based off of the respective wallet size of software organizations.

The one step up I see that Silverlight 3 has is licensing for H.264 codecs. Microsoft has the deep pockets to purchase licensing such as this.
It is interesting that Moonlight is not currently pursuing H.264, which makes me wonder if MS is purposely gimping their linux/unix implementation.

That is interesting. I wonder what the energy density of a lithium-air battery is halfway through discharge. I would bet it degrades fairly quickly.

Yes! Perl is so well suited for ETL processing, it makes me happy when people use it.
At my current job I want to take our Informatica server and throw it out the window. That way I can use Perl.
